    The letter will mysteriously disappear. Or they will replace it with a new one. Manfred will make a mistake and date it 2020 by accident.

    Wasn't that during the height of the steroid era? Weren't a bunch on the Yankees using said PED's? Isn't that cheating?

    I loved how he wanted to call out his naysayers right from the beginning of that radio interview that zeeshan posted. Hopefully, it's like he says and everything comes to light.

    Yeah I respect him not giving up his sources. He’s in the know for sure and things have started coming out like he thought they would.

    Yankees officially have something to hide.

    It’s so petty that all of you want to watch the Yankees burn too for these sign stealing shenanigans. So has anyone saved me a seat so I can watch as well?

    Agreed... although I'm convinced nothing will come of this, it's still nice to know there is some physical evidence out there about the Yankees being cheating bastards. I don't really care about them cheating per se, but to have the audacity to act like they were clean and the Stros were ruining baseball really chaps my ass.

    If the Yankees did indeed cheat and got preferential treatment from the league office ...

    I would want Crane to publicly (because private will likely not be efficacious) demand either the Yanks lose picks or the Astros get next year's picks back. All owners from teams not named Yankees and Red Sox should be up in arms with those two teams getting preferential treatment.

    I doubt the real story ever comes out. MLB will cover it up/downplay it and/or say it happened before the commissioner letter about apple watches and claim they stopped afterwards. Even though that letter didn't create a new rule and in fact only reinforced a rule already in place.
